Mack Brown returns to the sidelines on Saturday afternoon when North Carolina faces off in its season-opener against longtime rival South Carolina. The Tar Heels will be looking to get off to a quick start against the Gamecocks, hoping to come out with a win before upcoming games against Miami, Wake Forest and Clemson.
Brown brought with him former Ole Miss offensive coordinator Phil Longo, and veteran defensive coordinator and 2018 Broyles Award finalist Jay Bateman. Other recent additions to the UNC coaching staff include assistant head coach Tim Brewster, co-defensive coordinator Tommy Thigpen, defensive line coach Tim Cross, offensive line coach Stacy Searels, running backs coach Robert Gillespie and wide receivers coach Lonnie Galloway.
